But look at the Beatles suign them in another light:
Perhaps they're Mac users and in disgust at Apple suing
everyone else, they're just bringing pressure to bear to get
Apple to drop their "look and feel" suits..
Oh, and company names, while not copyrightable, are certainly
trademarks, which i think are more enforcable than copyrights.
(in addition to being RETROACTIVE if your a big company such
as McDonalds and you want to stomp out a little restaurant
which had been called McDonalds for the last 80 year)
Disclaimer:
McDonalds was mentioned above. I know for a fact it was not
the company that was actually in the above mentioned case. It
was actually a large Pizza chain that is one of the two largest
ones in the nation. (but i don't remeber which one)
